SSL Certificates

What are SSL certificates and why do I need them?

SSL certificates are an essential component of the data encryption process that make Internet transactions secure. They are electronic files that provide authentication to protect the confidentiality and integrity of website communication with browsers.

The SSL certificate’s job is to initiate secure sessions with a user’s browser via the secure sockets layer (SSL) protocol. This secure connection cannot be established without the SSL certificate, which digitally connects company information to a cryptographic key.
